In true abuse cases you are generally alone..You don't have 10 other people, not to mention 50 cameras and at least 10 staff within seconds of you. If that girl were "scared" she would have demanded a DR right then, or she would have got up and left.

I can't stand the bartender either but I believe Dustin and Jameka are far more dangerous because one of them will win. Nobody ever thinks end game this early if ever. When you think about it, who would vote for ED in F2? Nobody.

Abusers get away with their behavior when people blame the victim, refuse to acknowledge that it is abusive and do not take action to prevent it.

She did go to Eric and talk to him about it. Rather than confronting Dick, he told her the next time to find one of the other men in the house. She told him, and rightly so, by the time she found one of the men, it would be too late. She was laying on the bed. Dick was standing over her. How is she supposed to go looking for one of them? That's just like when the police say they can't do anything until an abusive spouse actually injures the other spouse. It's too late, then. The house needs to have a meeting and the guys need to tell Dick this is not acceptable behavior.

Do you remember the hoopla in BB6? BB got involved, seperated Michael and Cappy, then Kaysar and Ivette. I believe that if BB had perceived a threat then would have intervened. jmo. Dicks gameplay is over the top, Jen is aware, the hgs are aware, BB is aware, and we are aware. I am not defending anyone, just said good for Jen for not breaking down. She handled it well.

We need to get away from the word "abuse". His behavior is unacceptable. Period.

I think Dick's verbally abusive behavior is definitely escalating.

WHY didn't Kail come back w/some other houseguests to buffer the encounter, why did she leave and not come back? I hope Jen answers those questions with her VOTE...

Woodpecker, did you see Dedonjo's post of Monday, July 30, 2007 - 11:49 am in this thread? It seems that what Dick's behavior is a classic example of "verbal abuse".

I am not supportive of what Kail did, but really...has nothing to do with anything.

I saw it...and it is true, in my opinion. But more than anything else, Dick is simply not an acceptable person in this game.

Kail/Jen are "best friends," Kail has been to tears via Dick's words, now she sees Jen undergoing the SAME treatment and she bails... THAT has "nothing to do with anything?!" wow, my friends would trade me in and likewise if that were us... granted, these people just met, but I'm using THIER words, not mine...

Has this Dedonjo person seen Dick outside of the house so they can determine if this is his true personality or game play?

It doesn't matter if it's game play.

It has nothing to do with what Dick did and said Calimom3, Nothing at all.

Of course it matters if it's game play. Many of you don't like the way he is playing the game, but that does not mean he isn't acting. No one has any proof what this man is really like and for an arm chair diagnosis you would think this person would know the man before making the claim.

I am sorry some are upset or offended. I just think its part of Dicks game play. He at least is doing it in the open, totally calculated to rattle Jen, she is not giving in. In other seasons there were very many nasty threats said about the houseguests, however most of them were BEHIND THEIR BACKS. Marcellus wanting to rip Janies hair out by the roots, Boogie wanting to pee on Janelle, Jases whole rap thing. Janie and Beau got into it one night, nothing happened. BB loves the drama, but I should hope they would never let anything happen that could harm a houseguest go on. Do I think it will help him win? Nope, he is shooting himself in the foot.

I don't acknowlege it as verbal abuse because I don't see it as verbal abuse. And yes, it does matter if it's game play. You can't sit and analyze a person's game in the BB house, and claim that that is what the person is like in real life without meeting that person IN REAL LIFE. People here call Dick an abuser. I've not seen it.

And what EM said. NO ONE has proof that he is anything, in real life, like he is in the house. And even if you had a psych degree (and not just google at your disposal), until you met with Dick and spent hours talking to him, I still feel you shouldn't make a diagnosis of HIS GAME in the house.

Lucas, I'm saying Kail should've stayed w/Jen or gotten other h/gs to come in... it has nothing to do w/what Dick did/said, but it sure has something to do w/Kail's character, and her reliability as far as being a "friend" to Jen. I hope Jen sees how selfish Kail is, and votes to keep Nick... if that is how Kail is going to "back her up," who needs her?!

Actually, yes, I do. I enjoy the fact that he doesn't let anyone get away with anything. I like that he keeps people on their toes. I like it that he tells it like it is. Yes, sometimes his language bothers me. But honestly, I've heard worse. And it's all part of the game.

um, Milosmom, as someone pointed out earlier, it's not all out in the open. He has said far more vile things behind her back.

I for one am unconcerned about what Dick is like outside the house, I have my suspicions, but nothing factal. My posts are about his behavior, game play or real that has occured inside the house. It is abusive behavior in my professional opinion. Some don't agree, I agree with Woody though, that word is dangerous, and feel unacceptable and I would add disgusting.
